A handheld laser printer the size of an iron that one can load with an image of arbitrary size and sweep across a wall or horizontally oriented poster paper. The print head automatically adjusts to ensure the image prints properly as the device moves. Like a hand held scanner but for printing

Has most of economic history seems like nations racing to build something kind of arbitrary and mostly harmful. There was the race to build nukes, then rockets, and now robots. Can we not have a race to construct a robust social safety net would that not also be a way to prove national superiority

@doublefine.com next year, it could be cool to have a public game jam on itch io that runs during the same time frame as the internal Amnesia Fortnight.

Even the most positive change - if made too quickly - will be bad, and the worst changes are actually positive if done slow enough

Let’s at least try having one rope bridge in a key spot in each city and then try and tell me it’s not more fun and easy to get around

A game concept I drew in Aseprite while listening to Pablo Torre Finds Out

Streaming services are car dealerships but for movies

@doctorow.pluralistic.net love your work. Here’s a random though, Neo-liberalism is an international dictatorship

If everyone is drafted into the military, we immediately have both “basic income“ and military based dictatorship as a governance model

If you‘re still uncertain if what the global cabal did was crimes, put a single unredacted video depicting their actions on your computer and see how fast you get arrested

Imagine every car trip as a loading time on a computer. Running an errand in the world today is what the experience of doing a task on a computer will be not too long from now

“npm run dev“ actually describes the three activities I do most days

In 1995, a computer was a bicycle for the mind. In 2015, it was an electric bike. in 2026, it’s a car, and I have a specific belief about what a car does to the mind

Cars only work if you pave the entire country and waste vast amounts of space and resources creating parking lots. AI only works if you effectively “pave“ the internet into machine readable content, and create giant data centres that are about as useful to a community as a parking lot

As a person who doesn’t use cars to get around, it’s unclear to me why driving around in a cars generates value, and I believe this feeling is the same one that I get when someone using AI claims to be generating value

@fallguysgamemirror.bsky.social do you have a time trial solo mode yet? Or minigames on the loading screens. I’d like to play this game again, but don’t want to stare at a loading screen

What I’m hearing is it’s okay to say violent things as long as we don’t do violence? If yes, then what’s the objection to calling for violence, and, if no, why are do we okay with people calling for violence

@minnmax.com I just watched all three MinnMax lord of the rings commentaries, and, as advertised, king returned

People of earth are too dumb for crypto and too smart for AI

I know we’re cutting a lot of diversity and arbitrary programs these days, but you have to understand that one white guy in one room has to read about everything that happens everyday, so we just have to simplify everything down to one sentence and one narrative for his benefit

We quietly crossed a line in the past ten years where that bad stuff we just did has negative effects within our lifetimes

You’re watching society progress along a track on a collision course with itself, and there’s a lever you can pull to save $20 on groceries this month by selling your personal data

A society that looks like it’s functioning is not a functioning society

Let’s face it. When most people close their eyes and think of themselves as “free and independent”, they’re imagining themselves in an SUV full of Costco stuff at Burning Man

Agents are cars and AI is a highway (derogatory)

Volunteering is when you convert a bench into a garden or a garden into a bench

I find escalating the sketch to be kind of boring a lot of the time. Better options could be non sequitr (which I did not spell correctly) or rapid desiccation (de-esk-a-Latino) which I spelled phonetically and auto correct insisted must end with Latino

In The Rehersal, when individuals “nod along” to some wild sounding terms in several situations to me that shows how vulnerable people can sometimes be when they perceive someone else to have power or influence over them. The Rehersal S3 could investigate this concept

Will all actors attempt improv on set if requested by the director? Or is improv a separate thing that only some actors will attempt during shooting?

Mack of all Jacksters; jack of all Nunns

96 is like 69 except the people are facing away from each other

In FL Studio, if notes turn red for some reason and don't play any sound - reset the app. That's the only way to fix that. They turn red when you accidentally hit the zoom key, and there's no way to zoom back out. Also, sometimes notes will only place on the black keys, yeah... good luck with that

Andor is just 'and' and 'or'

2.5 hours of talking into Shokz bone conduction headphones while running 28k. Great headphones I've loved wearing everyday for the past year. Understandably a terrible mic, but it was fun to be able to record so easily. You can figure out what I'm saying - I believe in you! youtu.be/HHcJzDRwUGE

Does it need to be said, 100 zeros is still zero

@404media.co when you sent out the email newsletter to email addresses that are paid subscribers, it would be handy if links to 404 media articles were magic links that auto logged me into the site. Sometimes I click one and start reading then realize I’m not logged in.

Some video games are based around chilling and having a relaxing time, but, if you don’t know to press F to take out your lantern to activate the shrine, you’ll waste your entire afternoon and feel like shit

@bungie.net license the Marathon IP to a walking sim studio

We invented fire before capitalism

In a capitalist society, if you don’t want to make money at all costs, there’s no value in being able to see the future

elon know if he apologize and mean it we cool right?

Brian Eno seems like a very responsible and well adjusted person. I like people like that: youtu.be/hh7Cxt_PKqw?...

Allow theoretical train seats to be sold as NFTs without regulation so startups can fund private train development, and, before we even think about building the first train, start smashing up all the roads

build houses so they are disposable and fall apart after a year, so everyone has to buy a new one annually; this strategy is counter-intuitive, but it's the one we are told is optimal in every other industry

@sfchronicle.com when I run on the Bay Area waterfront, I always encounter a large white truck operated by the Golden Gate National Parks Service. I wish they’d drive on the road instead of on the walking path. Most often they are just picking up trash and don’t need such a large vehicle at least

Everytime they temporarily get rid of a department, I learn that that department actually did useful stuff
